Twitter; seriously, things show up there a couple of days before they show up here.

  How do you 'read Twitter'? I mean, how do you get 'the news' there?

    follow newspapers, magazines, journalists, whoever can provide you with the kind of news you're looking for.

    Follow your interests. It's not perfect and you do need to stay on top of things; I'm a heavy user of lists and persistent search tags. But you could also use a service like http://getlittlebird.com http://getlittlebird.com to find people in a specific field.

  I'd caveat to say Twitter, with a grain of salt. Calculate in sheer numbers, and heavily trending stuff tends to be really informative.
